Unsugoi: Dragonball’s flesh-colored Piccolo
This officially makes it the next step towards Apocalypse. Dragonball has just release screenie teasers of how Lord Piccolo would look in the live-action Dragonball movie and, by gawd, it looks awful. Horrible. Appalling. I don’t know if this screenie’s just bad or the lighting’s off, a flesh-colored Piccolo just plain sucks. And what’s up with that costume. He looks like he’s going to a gala or...
RIP Don LaFontaine: The Movie Trailer Voice-over Guy
Oh what a way to start my Sugoi Stuff posting routine. Sad, sad, and un-sugoi news indeed.

It has...

Well, perusing Makowski’s resume, he’s responsible for bringing the Today Show in Asia and worked as director for some episodes of...
More Dragonball movie snapshots
Oh man. The more details I get on this Dragonball movie, the more I’m trying not to barf. For one, I really hate it when you get white folk trying to play black-haired anime characters. Such is the case when Hollywood decides to get something innately Asian and Anglicize them for a westernized take.
